Speak to Go | Google Creative Lab

by Google Creative Lab

Project information

Speak to Go is A WebVR experiment that allows anyone with a phone and a mobile VR Viewer to be teleported to any location in the world simply by saying where they want to go. WebVR is a new way to experience VR on the web. No apps, no downloads. You just tap a link. When the technology was added to Chrome, we wanted to demonstrate how combining web technologies and native mobile features can create unique VR experiences.

To create Speak to Go we mixed the Street View API, voice recognition and native mobile features like the microphone and the gyroscope.
